For the Aggies, it’ll be “D” as in discipline on defense in the Dome when the game kicks off at 12:04 p.m. Saturday on Raycom TV. At least that’s what A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill said at his weekly press conference Tuesday. Last week, Sherrill said A&M could play more reckless defense against Texas Tech because' of the Red Raiders’ pass-oriented game plan. This week the Aggies will face Coach Bill Yeoman’s traditional veer offense that will require Aggie de fensive players to “stay home” in their assigned zones. “We’re going to have to discipline ourselves a lot more,” Sherrill said. Sherrill said he does not want a re peat of last year’s game at Kyle Field when the Cougars took a 9-0 lead af ter the Aggies made some early mis takes. “We’re going to have to be more consistent and certainly start out bet ter offensivley,” Sherrill said. In a telephone hookup with local media Tuesday, Yeoman said his team will have problems with the Aggies if Houston continues its er ror-prone ways. “(A&M is) blessed with tons of good football players,” he said. “They’ve got an excellent football team. We can’t go around turning the football over, or we won’t have any chance at all.” However, Houston may have a better chance than people might think, because history is on the Cou gars’ side — A&M hasn’t won in the Astrodome since 1952. “We’re just probably a little luck ier there than any other places,” Yeoman said. Sherrill said Houston may not be the biggest team the Aggies face this season, but the Cougars more than | rr A&M linebacker Johnny Holland (11) drags down Texas Tech running back Ervin Farris by Photo by John Mil his jersey as free safety Kip Corrington (lO)pre' pares to lend a hand in the Aggies’ 45-8 win. make up for their shortcomings with speed. Houston’s largest player on the defensive front weighs in the 240- 250-pound range, while A&M’s of fensive line has the likes of a 340 pounder in right tackle Marshall Land and a 285 pounder in left tackle Louis Cheek. “You’d probably rather play a team that’s big and can’t move, rather than a team that can move,” Sherrill said. He said Houston’s defense is known for an intensity that’s present on every snap. “They play well because the chem istry is there,” Sherrill said. “They’re excited to play-’’ Could there he a problem with the Aggies looking ahead to the show down with Ba)Jor? “We’re not, and I don’t think Bay lor is, either,” Sherrill said.

Trade works for Hernandez HOUSTON (AP) — When Keith Hernandez was traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the New York Mets, he cried. The Cardinals had won the World Series the year before; the Mets had been last in the National League East. At the time, Hernandez never would have believed that, three years later, he would have another chance to be in a World Series. “I was pretty down. I didn’t like the idea of the trade at all,” said Her nandez, who was obtained by the Mets on June 15, 1983 in a deal that sent pitcher Neil Allen to St. Louis. “Who could have guessed? “Here was a club that lost 90 games six or seven years in a row, a team that was in fifth and sixth place six or seven years in a row. And they turned it around to win 90 games, then 98 and now, 108 this year.” The Mets, champions of the NL East, take baseball’s best record, 108- 54, into the first game of the best-of- seven NL playoffs Wednesday night against the Houston Astros, who won the NL West with a 96-66 re cord, best in their history. Dwight Gooden, 17-6, will start Game One for the Mets, with Mike Scott, 18-10, going for Houston. “They’ve got a great club, and Da- vey Johnson has done a great job as manager,” Astros Manager Hal Lan ier said. “But we’ve had a pretty good season, too. We were in a fight to win our division, and I’ve got to be pretty satisfied with the way things turned out.” Both clubs finished the season with five-game winning streaks. The Mets clinched their title on Sept. 17 and won 14 of their final 18 games. 1 he Astros clinched on Sept. 25 when Scott pitched a no-hitter to beat San Francisco 2-0. The no-hit ter came in a stretch during w’hich the Astros won six of eight games, all by shutouts. Bob Knepper, Lanier’s Game Three starter, made his final tuneup for the playoffs by pitching five per fect innings against Atlanta before being taken out in Sunday’s season finale. The Mets third-game starter, Ron Darling, combined with Sid Fernan dez on a four-hitter to shut out Pitts burgh on closing day. While the Astros’ pitching staff finished on an up-note, it was the Mets’ hitting that got hot as the regu lar season ended. Darryl Strawberry, Gary Carter and Ray Knight hit home runs in the 9-0 finale.
